Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Got an e-mail from the school, saying they're waiting another couple weeks to make the decision.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Score! Netflix has Clueless now (last time I looked they did not, or I couldn't find it, but how hidden could it have been?) I may have forgotten everything I wanted to watch for after listening to Emma, but still a worthwhile way to entertain myself tonight, I think.

Hm. Third glass of wine? I think yes.

Ooh, a survey of various versions starting with 2009 and Gwyneth Paltrow, don't mind if I do. I have to say, these days I feel a lot more sympathy with Mr Woodhouse, they ARE all putting us in peril and do take care with that cough!

Thrive to spite them

The school system here has multiple contingency plans, but the Gov really wants in person school 5 days a week. He flat out told the state education department to deny any school plans that do not include 5 day a week in person classes as one of the options. He as also trying to divert funds to private schools but what can you except from a GOP Gov?

In other news, our store iwll be open from 10-7 weekdays now (except Sunday which will be 12-6). I don't know if hte mall hours are changing. They juggled the schedules but no one is getting more hours. Right now we have the first and last hour with very very minimal staffing on registers.

That seems like an awkward schedule for getting hours, askye. I hope it works out.

Emma Woodhouse is the perfect part for Gwyneth Paltrow. And Ewan MacGregir asFrank Churchill, I had completely forgotten that, what a treat!

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Oh no, Pix. I am sorry. This is very much disheartening.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

This HAS to become known in history as the Trump Pandemic, because it will be the lasting inheritance of his era.

(For future reference, we passed 150K known dead Americans of the virus this week.)

Coding and Sleeping

I'm checking out the vintage Atari 400 computer that is partially in that shot!

That was my first computer. My parents got it for me in middle school. Wish I still had the cassette drive and the tapes with the video games I wrote.

How the Trump era will be remembered will have a lot to do with how this election turns out.

Our wings are not tired.

Yes, I am all for calling it the Trump Pandemic, but I'd like him to be remembered for the greatest landslide election removing an incumbent in history.
